The backlog is full, but one request could change how you deploy everything.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) feature requests are the fastest way to shape the tools that run your cloud. When a team sends a solid, clear feature request, it can unlock efficiency, cut mistakes, and strip away repeated manual steps. Poor requests get lost. Strong ones get built.

A good Infrastructure as Code feature request starts with precision. State the desired behavior in exact terms. Include the current behavior, the gap, and why fixing it matters. Avoid vague language. For example, “Add support for tagging resources with environment metadata in Terraform state” is stronger than “add better tagging.”

Cluster related needs in one request to show the bigger picture. Link to documentation, code samples, or proof-of-concept scripts. Include impact metrics: reduced deploy time, fewer failed builds, cleaner configs. Engineers respond faster when they understand the trade-offs and benefits.

Use version specifics and provider names. An IaC feature request for AWS CloudFormation differs from one for Pulumi or Ansible. Specify the target tool, the version, and any integration points. This avoids misinterpretation and skips endless follow-up questions.

Suggest test conditions. Explain how the team could confirm the feature works once shipped. Well-defined tests help developers ship with confidence and avoid regressions.

The best Infrastructure as Code feature requests make it impossible to say no. They are concise, detailed, and backed by evidence. They fit neatly into the roadmap and align with real user demand.
